One of the biggest challenges facing wireless subscribers is a lack of indoor coverage, while the biggest challenge for wireless operators is keeping their network costs low. Microcells, picocells, and femtocells address these challenges in a much more cost effective manner. By providing smaller and less powerful base stations in smaller areas, like public spaces, offices, and even homes, operators can provide better coverage in more specific areas without the huge capital investment.

This report provides an in-depth view of the femtocell, enterprise femtocell, picocell, microcell, and WiMAX smaller cell markets, and includes 5-year forecasts for units, revenue, and semiconductor revenue for each segment. In addition, 5-year regional unit forecasts are included.

屋内のセルラーカバレッジ市場を支配するフェムトセル

アリゾナ州スコッツデール、2009年4月14日

フェムトセルは2006年には事実上存在していなかったが、2007年に1社のオペレータでスタートし、2013年には小型セルラー基地局の収益の61%を占めるだろうと、米国調査会社インスタット社は報告している。マイクロセル、ピコセル、フェムトセルは、コスト効率のよい屋内携帯電話のカバレッジを提供する。

「モバイルオペレータが、大規模な基地局から、より小さいアクセスポイントに移行するために、出荷数は劇的に増加するだろう。インスタット社は、不況下においても、小型で安価なセルは、より高価なマクロや小型基地局に比べて堅調だろうと予測している」とインスタット社のAllen Nogee氏は語る。

インスタット社は、下記についても調査した。

• フェムトセル、ピコセル、マイクロセルは、2013年に出荷数1500万を上回るだろう
• 世界の1年間のフェムトセル半導体収益は、2013年に4億ドルに近づくだろう
• 2007年にただ1社、Sprintがフェムトセルベースのサービスを開始し、他社は2008年に市場に参入した
• 2009年中頃に、Airwalkはフェムトセルの新しい企業を導入した。その製品には、従来のピコセルの容量とフェムトセルの使いやすさがある

インスタット社の調査レポート「世界の小型基地局市場分析:マイクロセル、ピコセル、フェムトセル - A Cell of Your Own - Worldwide Micro, Pico, and Femtocell Market Analysis (#IN0904374GW)」は、世界の小型セルラー基地局市場を調査している。フェムトセル、ピコセル、マイクロセルの2013年までの機器の出荷数と半導体収益の予測、地域毎の5年間予測、WiMAXマイクロ、ピコ、フェムトセルと半導体収益の予測、市場と技術の概観、ベンダプロフィールを記載している。

Femtocells to Dominate Market for Indoor Cell Coverage

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., April 14, 2009 - While femtocells were virtually non-existent in 2006, and deployed by one operator in 2007, they will make up 61% of small cellular base station revenue by 2013, reports In-Stat.  Microcells, picocells, and femtocells provide indoor cell phone coverage in a cost-effective manner.

“As mobile operators migrate from larger base stations to smaller access points, the number of units deployed will explode dramatically,” says Allen Nogee, In-Stat analyst. “In-Stat expects the smaller and cheaper cells to be more immune to the recession, compared with more expensive macro and micro base station shipments.”

Recent research by In-Stat found the following:

• Femtocells, picocells, and microcells are expected to surpass 15 million units by 2013.
• Worldwide annual femtocell semiconductor revenue will approach $400 million by 2013.
• Sprint was the first to market with a femtocell-based service in 2007, while others entered the market in 2008.
• In mid-2009, Airwalk introduced a new enterprise femtocell. These products have the capacity of a traditional picocell and the ease-of-use of a femtocell.

Recent In-Stat research, A Cell of Your Own—Worldwide Micro, Pico, and Femtocell Market Analysis (#IN0904374GW), covers the worldwide market for small cellular base stations. It includes:

• Forecasts of femtocell, picocell and microcell equipment unit sales and revenue through 2013.
• Forecasts of femtocell, picocell and microcell semiconductor revenue through 2013.
• Regional 5 year unit forecasts for each segment.
• WiMAX micro, pico and femtocells and semiconductor revenue forecasts.
• Market and technology overviews.
• Vendor profiles.
